Find local businesses on Google: name, address, phone, hours, ratings, and photos.
Google Local MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Google Local directly instead of describing what you should do. Find local businesses on Google: name, address, phone, hours, ratings, and photos.
This is a remote MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client query Google Local directly as a tool call.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by johnisanerd; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
